Hundreds of Westchester residents led by County Executive George Latimer come out to support Jewish owned businesses after they were vandalized with antisemitic slogans.
Hate will not be tolerated!
This is very disturbing. But this intimidation won’t deter us. We will continue fighting for what is moral and just ensuring U.S. support for Israel remains strong.
HORRIFYING- the home of AIPAC’s President was targeted by pro Palestinian radcials who ignited smoke bombs outside of his residence and proceeded to spill red paint, signifying blood.
What’s next? The burning of Synagogues and schools like in 1939 Germany?
Congratulations

The voters of NY-16 have spoken. They chose:
a uniter over a divider,
integrity over lies,
Action over talk
In George they chose a respected leader who represents the values of all residents and delivers

. “A Yang administration will push back against the BDS movement, which singles out Israel for unfair economic punishment. Not only is BDS rooted in antisemitic thought and history...it’s also a direct shot at New York City’s economy.”
I do not pretend to speak for anyone but myself and express any opinion but my own. It's a free country, and I have a right to express whatever opinion I wish on whatever topic I wish.
And if you have an issue with it, that's your damn problem.
I’ve lived in NYC my entire life. Truly saddened & honestly a bit scared about the significant increase in hate crimes in this city that I love so dearly. This is a defining moment - as individuals, elected leaders, anyone with a moral compass- silence is not an option.

The overwhelming vote on this resolution sends a clear & compelling message that Congress opposes the regime & supports the Iranian people in their fight for human rights.

Any New Yorker who stands for peace cannot stand next to those waving Hamas and Hezbollah flags, especially at an exhibit commemorating the victims of the Nova Music Festival massacre. That is pure anti-Semitism.
The NYPD has overseen thousands of peaceful protests, but it is

Important takeaway- Latimer’s support in the district runs wide and deep - including in Bowman’s hometown of Yonkers.
“And while just 10 percent of Bowman’s campaign contributions come from his neighbors, more than half of Latimer’s donations come from within the district.”
True progressives stand with our democratic partners - especially when they’re forced to protect their citizens from thousands of terror attacks meant to kill innocent civilians.
Rep. Jeffries is the principled, pro-Israel progressive leader Congress, New York & America needs.
From our profile of the man tapped to serve as

liaison to the Jewish community. “When facing danger, I use my training and tactics to protect myself, but I deeply believe that the outcome is min haShamayim,” he says.
At rally marking 6 months of hell for the hostages being held in Gaza by Hamas -
@RepDanGoldman
speaks unequivocally - Hamas must surrender and the hostages must be brought home now!
This Shabbos was probably the toughest I’ve ever experienced. No Shul. No Minyan. No Torah Reading. Blessing for the new Hebrew month never resonated as much as it did today “G-d, May you inaugurate this month upon us for goodness and blessing...giving us a life of health.”
May all your prayers be answered,

If we didn’t already know - Jamaal Bowman showing who he really is -
While the terrorists of Hamas still hold 161 civilians hostage and use Palestinians as human shields Bowman accuses Israel of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
He is not who Americans need in Congress.
WATCH ⬇️ Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) tells crowd: Call for permanent ceasefire in Gaza because “we are against mass murder. We are against genocide. We are against ethnic cleansing. We are against the continued slaughter of civilians. We are against the mass murder of children.”

This is a defining moment. White House has been clear - there aren’t two sides to this.
Neutral isn’t an option…
I'm standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks, and condemn the Hamas terrorists. The people of NYC will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere.

One thing was clear in the Capitol - the bond w/ Israel is strong.
